Fujirebio Europe launches iAMP® COVID-19 SANO Assay, a molecular detection assay that can be performed in saliva
“Effective surveillance of the COVID-19 pandemic depends largely on the frequency of testing and the speed of reporting”, said Christiaan De Wilde, CEO of Fujirebio Europe. “This new product can not only be performed in saliva specimen, which makes it a very non-invasive testing solution, it also does not require RNA extraction. This makes the test suitable for mass screening programs, with a processing time from sample collection to result of only 70 minutes”.
Public healthcare authorities worldwide monitor COVID-19 test performance closely. The iAMP COVID-19 SANO Assay has shown good sensitivity and specificity in recent studies1, with 100% positive predictive agreement (PPA) and 100% negative predictive agreement (NPA) in nasopharyngeal swabs and saliva specimen respectively.
The new test completes the existing COVID-19 test panel that already is used across the world today to support fast and trustworthy diagnosis. More information can be found at: www.fujirebio.com/covid-19.
